Bachelor Party Suggestions Needed

New to Chowhound?

The last 2 bachelor parties I went to were at Frank's steakhouse on 10th Avenue; once in one of the private rooms and once in the restaurant proper. I've had better steaks and certainly better appetizers but I have to admit, it's a great space for a large group. It's easy to get up and move around to other parts of the restaurant/table. And in the end, I guess it's more important to be able to talk to everyone in the party than be in cramped quarters enjoying better food or being in a place that wants to hustle you out the door.

Well, it's time for another party and I was wondering if anyone could suggest a different place that has space similar to Frank's. We're looking for a Manhattan restaurant, below Columbus Circle. Someone from our party said they enjoyed a party in the back room of Il Bucco on Bond Street. Anyone out there seen this space?

Kimchi has conquered the world! Most people know this popular Korean side dish as fermented cabbage, but the truth is you can kimchi pretty much any vegetable and fruit.
Food explorers seek it at restaurants and/or specialty stores. This fermented delicacy is an immune-system boosting probiotic food, that includes "healthy bacteria".
In the season finale of CHOW-TO, Atoboy's chef de cuisine YeongSoo Lee teaches Guillermo the basics on how to make the Korean staple.
There is not one right recipe, here we learn the principles, and the idea is to make it your own. Kimchi is so customizable, that traditional Napa cabbage is just the start. YeongSoo shows us a couple of other variations for inspiration. Move over pickles, time to do some fermenting at home.

Breaded, deep-fried meat doesn’t need much more other than seasoning. Add to that, using one of the most expensive cuts of meat in the world. Wrap some crustless white bread around it, and you’ve got yourself a perfect snack known as Katsu Sando. A popular Japanese convenience store staple that has become an Instagram darling, and the new avocado toast at restaurants around the country. To learn more about the sandwich, Wagyu beef, and how to make this treat at home (don't worry, you can use any protein, this is not reserved for the super rich) Guillermo visits chef Corwin Kave at Don Wagyu in NYC, to learn all the secrets behind America’s most expensive beef sandwich.

Nasi Lemak is the de facto national dish of Malaysia. Traditionally eaten for breakfast, it might seem like a simple dish. But don't be fooled, this is a flavor bomb. Guillermo visits chef Kyo Pang, at her restaurant Kopitiam in the Lower East Side of Manhattan to learn how to make this Baba Nyonya-staple. It's a fragrant, spicy and sweet delicacy — and even inspired its own Google Doodle. Are you ready to shake up your morning routine?
